The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Robbie the Reindeer is a trilogy of three Christmas-themed animated comedy television specials created by Richard Curtis. They follow the title reindeer character who travels to the North Pole to follow in his father's footsteps and join Santa Claus's reindeer sleigh team. The characters are loosely (and unofficially) based on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by Robert L. May. The first two specials, "Hooves of Fire" and "Legend of the Lost Tribe", were animated in stop-motion by the BBC Bristol animation unit and Aardman Animations. The third special, "Close Encounters of the Herd Kind", was animated in computer animation by Absolute Digital Pictures. The specials were produced by BBC Bristol, Absolute Digital Pictures and Comic Relief. They premiered on BBC One between 1999 and 2007 and were distributed by BBC Studios. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
